[. . . ] Deletes selected entries from table and refreshes screen data Page 22 of 58 Factory Reset: Help: Restore the system factory default value. Goes to relevant section of Help Menu System There are 4 options available: o Switch Status o IP Access List o Set-up o Password System> Switch Status System> Switch Status The top part of this page displays switch information, such as: o Product Name: (NETGEAR FS526T) o Firmware Version o Protocol Version o DHCP: (shows if enabled or disabled) o IP Address o Subnet Mask o Default Gateway o MAC Address o System Name o Location Name o Login Timeout: o System Up Time These parameters are not editable from this screen. Only System Name and Location Name can be modified in the Set-up> System Setting page. Figure 5-2. System> Switch Status: Switch Status Page 23 of 58 The next part of the Switch Status page displays the port settings for both 10/100 Mbps and 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. o ID: The port number on the switch o Speed: Indicates the communication mode set for the port. The possible entries are Auto-negotiation (Auto), 10 Mbps half duplex (10M Half), 10 Mbps full duplex (10M Full), 100 Mbps half duplex (100M Half), 100 Mbps full duplex (100M Full), or Disable. o Flow Control: Indicates whether Flow Control support is set for on (Enabled) or off (Disabled). Quality of Service (QoS) is a way of managing traffic in a network, by treating different types of traffic with different levels of service priority. Higher priority traffic gets faster treatment during times of switch congestion. System> Switch Status: Port Status Page 24 of 58 The next part of the Switch Status page shows the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) status. A VLAN is a way to electronically separate specified ports on the same switch into separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location. The default VLAN setting is all ports belong to VLAN 1 as shown in Figure 2-4. To configure user-defined VLAN groups, go to the Switch> VLAN page. Figure 5-4. System> Switch Status: Port-based VLAN & TRUNK Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link (aggregate link). For example, a 10/100 port cannot form a Port Trunk with a gigabit port. To configure user-defined trunk groups, go to the Switch> Trunking page. Page 25 of 58 If the IEEE802. 1Q VLAN is enabled, this page will display the Tagged VLAN status as shown in Figures 2-5 and 2-6. To know more about Tag VLAN, see Switch> VLAN for details. Figure 5-5. System> Switch Status: Tag VLAN PVID Table Page 26 of 58 Figure 5-6. System> Switch Status: Tag VLAN Settings Page 27 of 58 System> IP Access List This page displays an IP access list, which lists switches that are allowed to login this Switch. The switch will only respond to requests from computers with the IP address in the list, so make sure to include your IP address if you are using this feature. The default setting is all host IP addresses allowed as shown in Figure 5-7. Figure 5-7. [. . . ] For Port 3, the outgoing packet will leave as a tagged packet with a VLAN tag value 10. If a tagged packet with a VLAN tag value 10 enters Port 3, the packet will have access to Port 1 and Port 2. If the packet leaves Port 1 and/or Port 2, it will be stripped away its tag becoming an untagged packet as it leaves switch. If an untagged packet enters Port 4, switch will tag it with a VLAN tag value 20. [. . . ]
